I look forward to seeing you all in Boston, or as many of you as can make it, for our annual convocation. The program for EVS as it stands in mid-May is below. APSA, our host, has just assigned the times to our panels. We await the announcement of locations. Updates will be made available through Voegelinview.com, where you can also find the best in Voegelin related scholarship. Our distinguished editor, Lee Trepanier, stands at the ready to receive your submissions as he labors to enlarge the public understanding on a wide range of topics, historical and contemporary. The yeoman work of our book review editor, John von Heyking, is only matched by his own contributions in the genre. His most recent volume,Comprehensive Judgment and Absolute Selflessness: Winston Churchill on Politics as Friendship (St. Augustine’s Press), will form the basis of the Churchill panel on our program. Please let me know if corrections or changes are needed in the schedule. It is testament to your attendance at one another’s panels that we are able to sustain the large number of sessions we have been awarded. As always, your continuing financial support of EVS, in contributions small or large, is always appreciated (for donations email [email protected]).
